Wondering if you can help. I am working on implementing the proximity feature with a few customers but results have been hit and miss. I cannot find any detail on how it works other then some references to bluetooth.
My questions are how is this working:
1) Does the joining device (android/ios phone or windows laptop) simply do a scan for the bluetooth beacon of the MTR units?
2) Is it limited to people who are in the same Teams tenant?
3) Is the 'nearby' item and how far you can be just based on the strength of the bluetooth beacon?
4) Also one customer has sworn to me that his laptops have bluetooth disabled yet he can see this option, although i am pretty sure he is just looking at a room list. But still asking i 'assume' bluetooth must be on the client device for it to detect the MTR or if they are on the same wireless network can it find it somehow.
Always appreciate the insight you guys provide. Please advise. Thanks.
